Oakland Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore was deactivated for the team's first preseason game on Monday night with a hamstring injury. The hamstring injury has plagued Moore since minicamps in mid-June. Moore has been limited in practice throughout training camp, and the passing offense did not run well in his absence. Jacoby Ford took his place in the lineup.
Raiders vs. Cowboys: Denarius Moore Deactivated For the Preseason Opener
Oakland Raiders wide receiver Denarius Moore was deactivated for the team’s first preseason game on Monday night with a hamstring injury. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Denarius Moore burst onto the scene in 2011 and quickly became one of Carson Palmer's favorite targets. This injury is a growing concern for fantasy owners, and Moore's value is going to take a hit as a result. While some may think Moore's absence should help Darrius Heyward-Bey, the entire Raiders' passing offense seemed to struggle without him. Heyward-Bey can't seem to handle being the focal point of a passing attack. Fantasy owners should proceed with caution when it comes to this passing offense.
